Microsoft Regulates Face Recognition Technology

Microsoft on Friday became the first tech giant to join a growing call for regulations to limit the use of facial recognition technology.In a blog post about the potential uses and abuses of facial recognition, Bradford L. Smith, the company’s president, compared the technology to products like medicines and cars that are highly regulated, and he urged Congress to study it and oversee its use.

“We live in a nation of laws, and the government needs to play an important role in regulating facial-recognition technology,” Smith wrote, noting that “a world with the vigorous regulation of products that are useful but potentially troubling is better than a world devoid of legal standards.”

Tech giants rarely support regulation of their powerful innovations, and Mr. Smith’s unusual entreaty demonstrates how powerful technologies involving artificial intelligence — including facial recognition - this makes a controversial battle among tech giants. At last, Microsoft takes the lead in calling regulation of Face Recognition Technology.Face Recognition Technology can be used to identify people around social media in photos or video feeds without their knowledge or permission. Defenders see it as a potentially important tool for identifying criminals, but civil liberties experts have warned that the technology could enable mass surveillance, hindering people’s ability to freely attend political protests or go about their day-to-day lives in anonymity.Microsoft has created an AI standards board to examine these kinds of issues and has said that it turned down some contracts to sell some software to certain customers, but has refused to provide details. The new AI board has urged a slower, more deliberate approach to selling the software, Smith said.
